On September 29, 2024 the Turkish Foreign minister Hakan Fidan seems to have taken another step in the exposure of the ugly ties between the United States and the State of Israel (1). He said that Israel has been so successful in lobbying the US political establishment that Washington essentially does the bidding of West Jerusalem. He also added that Zionism has taken root in American politics.

This article presents two short videos that expand on this topic. One is from a Jewish LHBTQ- and BLM-activist, Timmy Cohen and the other one is from John Mearsheimer, an American professor. They both shed an interesting light on the influence of Jews/Israel on American society.

In the above video Cohen names many Jews in crucial organizations in the US society. We have already seen the remarkable presence of Israeli-US dual citizens in those responsible for the globalist narrative we have gotten to know as the corona crisis (12).

JOHN MEARSHEIMER
John Mearsheimer is a professor at the University of Chicago (2) and a prolific writer on international relations (3). He is also an independent thinker, which often leads to a realistic perspective on the causes of the Ukraine war (4). He has also written a book called ‘The Israel Lobby and US Foreign Policy” (3,6-8).

In the above video Mearsheimer says that the Israel lobby focuses on two main points: public opinion and control of the US Policy Makers. When it comes to the first point he says that they don’t want Israel to be portrayed in a negative light in the media and they also don’t want want much discussion of the lobby’s role in American politics. They probably don’t like articles like this, I suppose.

The second focus is to make sure that policy makers in Congress (and in the State Department/Defense) unconditionally support Israel.

Mearsheimer says: “So the name of the game here is to influence those policymakers. Now there are obviously many policymakers who think that what Israel is doing in Gaza is reprehensible, but they will not speak out. And they will vote in support of Israel at almost every turn. There will be a few exceptions, but not many.” 

That raises the question, why? And the answer is that in the United States, to get elected to office and to remain in office, campaign contributions matter enormously. And the lobby is really good at providing money, providing resources for individuals who support the lobby’s positions.And anyone who doesn’t support the lobby’s positions will find him or herself being opposed by someone in the next primary or in the next campaign by someone who supports Israel and who is getting a huge amount of money from pro-Israel sources. 

So politicians, and this again includes politicians in the executive branch and in the legislative branch, understand that there will be a huge price to pay if they don’t support Israel hook, line, and sinker. And they end up, in almost all cases, supporting Israel as a result.

If you took away the ability of the lobby to provide campaign funds for political candidates, I think you would see very different voting patterns when it comes to Israel. Because this is not a case of all these politicians loving Israel and feeling they have to support Israel because it shares our values or it’s a strategic asset. They do it, in good part, out of fear.Fear that the lobby will put its crosshairs on them and defeat them for office.”

Eric ‘Slowhand’ Clapton is not afraid to speak out. He was one of the few musicians who questioned the globalist vaccination narrative (10); he is also critical about the West’s globalist position on Ukraine and Israel and Gaza (11).

(4) Accordingly, in an article in Foreign Affairs in August 2014, he [prof. dr. Mearsheimer] assigned the main blame for the outbreak of the conflict to the United States and its Western allies.

“Since the mid-1990s, Russian leaders have adamantly opposed NATO enlargement, and in recent years, they have made it clear that they would not stand by while their strategically important neighbor turned into a Western bastion. For Putin, the illegal overthrow of Ukraine’s democratically elected and pro-Russian president (Viktor Yanukovych) —which he rightly labeled a “coup”—was the final straw. He responded by taking Crimea, a peninsula he feared would host a NATO naval base, and working to destabilize Ukraine until it abandoned its efforts to join the West.“

We have seen for instance heard Jeffrey Sachs express this perspective as well (5).
